Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Lai Fu was only concerned with helping his elder brother get rid of the title of "fool", forgetting the nature of people like Liu Guangfu, and did not understand the greed of human nature.

Having not eaten meat for half a year, Liu Guangfu and his friends opened their mouths like dogs when they saw a large piece of mouth-watering meat bone.

"What's going on?" Zeng Wangcai saw the third child crying loudly.

Zeng Xiaoqiang was overjoyed when he saw his eldest brother and his father coming out. He immediately pointed at Liu Guangfu who was trying to run away and said, "Brother, Liu Guangfu stole our meat bones. He also called you a fool, saying that you spent money to buy a bunch of meatless bones. The third brother was so angry that he went home and secretly took a piece to show him, and he stole it..."

It was not yet completely dark, and several neighbors were already standing at the gate of the courtyard. They were all immediately attracted by Zeng Xiaoqiang's words.

Nowadays, more people are concerned about whether what Zeng Xiaoqiang said is true. They are more concerned about whether Zeng Wangcai bought meat with the money for bones. As for whether Liu Guangfu stole the meat, only a few people care.

This is human nature!

Liu Haizhong was different. He cared more about his own face: "Second brother, come here!"

Liu Guangfu was about to run away when he was stopped. His deep-seated fear of Liu Haizhong made him give up running away. He slowly walked back and nervously handed the newspaper in his hand to Liu Haizhong.

It’s really a meat bone, a really big piece of meat bone.

It can no longer be hidden now. The fact that the Zeng family ate meat bones tonight can no longer be hidden. Moreover, it was eaten with sauce, without stewing wild vegetables, cabbage or anything like that, just meat.

Among the people in the courtyard, the two who were qualified to eat meat in the past six months are not here now. Those who are here have not eaten meat for half a year. The last time they ate meat was dumplings during Chinese New Year.

Everyone looked at the Zeng family with envy and jealousy, and the movie they were about to watch no longer interested them.

Liu Haizhong was so embarrassed that he took off his belt and hit Liu Guangfu on the buttocks: "You didn't get anything to eat at home, but you stole meat from other people's homes. Don't you have any shame?"

After saying that, he continued beating them, which made Liu Guangtian's scalp numb. They had been beaten since they were young because Liu Haizhong believed that "a good son is born under the stick."

After beating Liu Guangfu so hard that he ran away with his pants wet, Liu Haizhong said awkwardly, "Lao Zeng, our third child needs to be disciplined. Look at this meat... How about I treat you to a drink some other day? Lao Yan is talking nonsense, saying that your eldest child bought a bunch of bones without meat. Isn't there a lot of meat here? Where did you buy this?"

What he meant was that he didn't know whether the child had eaten the meat, so he should leave it and treat you to a drink another day as a favor, but he didn't say it in full.

The second half of the sentence has an ulterior motive. Everyone knows how difficult it is to buy meat nowadays. Even if you have a meat coupon, it is not easy to buy the fat meat you like. Moreover, there is only a limited amount per month. Who would use a meat coupon to buy meat with bones?

So Liu Haizhong implied that Zeng Wangcai did not spend the meat ticket to buy the meat bones, but used connections.

This kind of thing is normal, and anyone who has the opportunity will not let it go. However, this is something that can be done but not talked about. If you talk too much and someone with ulterior motives hears it, who knows what will happen.

How could Zeng Wangcai not understand? He stepped forward and grabbed the meat bone: "Second uncle, don't drink." He looked around the scene and continued loudly, "My second uncle came with my malnourished cousin and brought me a wild rabbit that he himself was reluctant to eat. I bought this meat bone with the meat coupons at home. I stewed it this afternoon to nourish my sister..."

He told this lie without blinking an eye.

The people around me only had one thought in their minds: prodigal son, you should make soup with such good meat and bones. Soup is very nutritious. Why eat it in sauce? If you give me a house, I can make a whole tank of soup and drink it for a month...

Zeng Wangcai's plan cannot be said to be perfect, but at least no one present could refute it, either emotionally or practically. No matter how rare meat tickets were, every family had some saved. As for taking out half a pound of meat tickets to entertain guests, that was even more beyond reproach. Regardless of whether there were wild rabbits or not, it was called a show of affection and righteousness.

Liu Haizhong felt unhappy and guilty, so he took Liu Guangtian to the movies in a dejected manner, and the scene immediately dispersed.

Yan Jiefang did not do anything, and ran back: "Dad, didn't you say that Zeng Wangcai bought bones without meat? I just saw it..."

After learning the truth, Yan Bugui touched his chin, wondering what he was planning.

......

After this little accident, Zeng Wangcai personally realized that everyone in the Siheyuan was a villain, and was no different from what he had read in the novels.

The first time I ate meat, I made people jealous. What’s more, I must shut others’ mouths in the future.

Zeng Wangcai, who has read hundreds of fan fictions, has several plans in his mind, but they all need to be verified whether they are feasible. After all, novels are novels and life is life.

Zeng Wangcai held his sister in his arms, and the six of them came to the place where open-air movies were shown. It was getting dark, and the place was already crowded with people. There were half-grown children running around everywhere. To them, watching a movie itself did not seem as interesting as playing.

In an age of lack of entertainment, an open-air movie can bring countless fun to everyone. Almost every family nearby would come with their families, either with long benches or small stools.

A supply and marketing cooperative had not yet closed, and the salesperson who was assigned to be on duty by his superior looked unhappy.

"Wangcai, here!" Lin Huyang stood high on a stool and saw Zeng Wangcai's family coming over.

After the two sides met up, Zeng Wangcai's family set up at the place where Lin Huyang had been standing in advance. He put a long bench aside, asked Zeng Xiaoqiang and Zeng Laifu to keep an eye on his sister, and then he went to the supply and marketing cooperative with Lin Huyang to buy things.

Lin Huyang paid for several bottles of Arctic Ocean soda and left first. Zeng Wangcai dawdled for a while, then slipped aside and took out three paper bags rolled into cone shapes with old newspapers from the space. These were melon seeds for the three children, and there was another big bag.

Zeng Xiaoqiang and his friends were eating melon seeds and drinking soda, happily waiting for the movie to start, amid the envy of other children.

Although melon seeds and soda are not expensive, not everyone can afford them.

After settling his family members, Zeng Wangcai pulled Lin Huyang behind the movie screen. There were only a few naughty kids who were looking for fun here, so it was convenient to talk with fewer people.

The two of them found a place to sit down and watched the reversed figures on the movie screen.

Zeng Wangcai took out cigarettes and passed them to Lin Huyang: "Yangzi, have you found a job yet?"

"No!" Lin Huyang was smoking, and he felt annoyed when talking about this matter. "You know our old man. He said that he was very successful outside, but in fact, he was only successful among ordinary people. He wanted to find me a good job like you, but it was useless. He had to find connections. He wanted to get me to a textile factory, where there were many female workers, hehe..."

The latter smile was a bit mean. They had discussed this before and agreed that going to the textile factory was heaven, but that was what Zeng Wangcai's original owner thought.

As far as women are concerned, the steel rolling mill is not good enough. Yu Haitang is the factory belle, which is fine, but Liu Lan is Li Huaide's situation.

"Yangzi, I've decided. I'm going back to Zengzhuang in two days!"

"No way, are you going to give in? Didn't you say you would never get married? Didn't you say you wanted to be in a free love relationship?"

"My second uncle said that she looks like a movie actor. Oh, and she's fourteen years old..."

"Damn Wangcai, you are a beast..."
